Pergentes itaque protinus, ad lucos venimus, agrosque pube variorum seminum laetos, ubi reperta regia Romano more aedificata, quoniam id placuerat, mansit intacta. Erat etiam in hac eadem regione extentum spatium et rotundum, loricae ambitu circumclausum, destinatas regiis voluptatibus continens feras, cervicibus iubatis leones, armisque hispidos apros, et ursos (ut sunt Persici) ultra omnem rabiem saevientes, et alia lecta immania corpora bestiarum: quas omnes diffractis portarum obicibus, equites nostri venatoriis lanceis et missilium multitudine confoderunt.
